4 Things to Look For When Hiring an Isolation Service

Do you want to hire an isolation service for your home or business?

If so, it is important to know that you should not only recruit the first name you meet. Properly inserted insulation can lower your heating and cooling bills and even prevent carbon monoxide poisoning.

But how do you find a suitable contractor?

Let’s look at four things to look for when hiring an isolation service.

Reputation is good
You should start your search by looking for insulation services with a very good reputation.

Luckily, with the internet, this search should not be difficult. You can check the company’s website to get testimonials and reviews. You can also check Yelp and the company’s Google page. You should also check out the Better Business Bureau, as many people still leave reviews here.

Family, friends and co-workers who have hired insulation services will also be excellent sources of information. However, do not take their words for gold. Every home has different isolation needs and you might work on different budgets, so what’s great for them might not be good for you.

You find isolation service but they do not have any reviews?

Chances are, this is a red flag or that means they are new to the business. Either way, it is best to go with a company that has customer testimonials to support their work.

Knowledge and Experience
Hiring companies that have been in the business for a while and know what they are doing is very important.

To find out the insulation company experience, you can see our “about us” page. Most of the time, these pages include how many years the company has run the business and how many services they have completed.

In terms of knowledge, it’s a good sign if the insulation contractor wants to do a complete diagnostic test of your attic. Often, inexperienced contractors will simply glance at your attic. Beware of this contractor.

Experienced professionals like Aerolite Installers will always tailor their services to the needs of each of your homes.

Licensing and Insurance
Never hire someone who is not licensed or insured to work in your home – for isolation or any project in this matter.

If you hire an uninsured contractor, you may be held liable for injuries suffered by employees at work.

Customer service
You definitely want to make sure you hire an insulation service that can provide excellent customer service.

Often, the way isolation firms treat their customers is a reflection of the kind of work they do.

A quality insulation company should be happy to answer any questions you may have about your home. And, they should be more than willing to provide you with permission information, insurance information, and references when asked.
